Caddie Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in the Wayzata CC caddie program. The minimum age to begin is 14 years old. Beginning caddies are expected to carry one bag, keep up with the players, keep clubs and balls clean, replace divots, watch the ball in flight, rake bunkers and attend the flagstick. The duties and expectations of our caddies continue to grow as the caddie gains experience and is able to carry two bags. Our caddie master will determine when those criteria are met and when our caddies advance to a higher rating.▶ Click here to download the 2022 Caddie Program Application

In order to caddie, you must be 14 years old by June 1 of the current year.How do I register?
There is no registration process. All new caddies must go through an orientation and two instruction classes that are held on Saturdays and Sundays in May from 3:00-4:30 pm. No classes will be held on Memorial Day Weekend.Do I have to be a certain size in order to caddie?
There are no specific size requirements in order to caddie. Each caddie must be able to carry at least one golf bag for 18 holes while keeping up with his/her player for the entire round.How much will I get paid?
A caddie’s pay is based directly on her/his classification. There are 3 classifications: Honor, A, and B. New caddies are considered B class during the training process and move up classes as they demonstrate the skills required by each classification. Each caddie is entitled a daily per bag rate, and will generally be tipped by the player based on the caddie’s performance.What does the training process entail?
- Attend a 90 minute orientation session.
- Complete one (1) on-course training sessions. This allows new caddies to physically carry a golf bag in a low-stress setting with a caddie trainer while learning the basics of caddying.
- Perform at least (1) shadow loop where a Trainee will accompany an experienced caddie on the course for a real round of golf. Observing one of our top caddies in action is the best way to learn how to caddie. The Trainee caddie will take the bag for three (3) holes during the shadow loop, which gives the experienced caddie and the player the chance to offer advice to the new caddie.
